So do you feel unsafe when the countless out of state cars who don't require inspections are driving around you? ... Some of those states even border us... Show me data that states like NH or OH have more traffic accidents per capita because of car mechanical issues and failures(strictly with vehicles registered in the state).

You should be more concerned with the fact that 70% of drivers on the road are either on their phone, have no idea the rules/laws of the road, are in SUVs or trucks but have no idea how to safely operate a large vehicle, aggressively driving, have unsecured loads, or are intoxicated/mental impaired? Or what about lack of DOT commercial inspections, lack of weight stations, failing bridges/overpasses everywhere, construction zones that have been going on for years, lack of DUI checkpoints or enforcements, major roads that give Jeeps a run for their money and the list goes on.

Also where is this money going? Over 2 million registered in MA, if only 1 million of those get their inspections stickers yearly that is 30million dollars. Not to mention other million dollar revenues streams like the Pike toll, registrations, excise tax and vehicle sales tax. Where the hell is all this going? Certainly not into the roads, you know to make them safer.

It's not about your safety...

Good! They should. Half of New Hampshire is inbred making them more of a danger and a higher need to control
